Daniel Pelavin, New York, USAMember Since July 2006Artist Statement Daniel Pelavin’s work is best recognized for its precisely drafted shapes, unique color palette and original typography. His mastery at combining stylistic elements from different historical periods while maintaining an unwavering focus on clarity has produced a body work that is timeless and enduring. He has received accolades for illustration and typographic design and a singular ability to seamlessly combine the two.

From his earliest work, which was produced using templates, french curves and drafting tools, to a present day virtuosity in digital media, Pelavin has used a restrained and simplified vocabulary of geometric forms. An early interest in serigraphy cemented a love of rich, flat colors, while a reverence for themes of transportation and industry has filled his compositions with trains, planes, automobiles and dynamic cityscapes. The result is a body of work which is pictorial and iconic at the same time.
